The Decompression Chamber

At night, when I get home from work, I am really tired. Sometimes it's just mediocre tired, but this week it's been bone tired. I've slogged off my workwear, crawled into bed, and become a sloth.Tonight I did it again and wondered - is this my kind of decompression chamber? After a busy few weeks at work, I feel like I need to lie in bed and just be. I wander the internet, chat to my kids, I even eat dinner in bed. It may also because our house is bone chillingly cold. Bed is warm.I feel bad, because I'd really rather be hanging with my little peeps (and Matt).I don't do it all the time, but this week, my bones! But then I wondered, do other mothers seek this decompression chamber?

Mine is the TV. I watch movies or sometimes even whole seasons of my favorite TV shows. I make toast or Weetbix for dinner. Mine doesn't stem from being out at work all day, but usually from PMS or taking on so much I start to feel overwhelmed and therefore paralysed.

I can totally relate to this lady, dinner & cups of tea in bed. Sometimes we just need to find that little quite space, breathe & recharge eg: internet shop + dream of tropical holidays. Cheers to the weekend xx

I just keep going some days and wish for the moment when you can "just be" I find that time can be in the shower or in the car sitting at the lights...(boy can I be mesmerised by the sound of the indicator some days) these are all my decompression chambers. One day it will be my bed but with a 2.5 year old that is just not feasible yet. Completely get it though. x

At this point in my life I have nowhere to decompress. I parent on my own four out of five weeks, I'm breastfeeding so ladybaby is still in my room/arms/bed much of the time & I have 3 other kids to look after. That's why last week I started a blog so I have a tiny little place all of my own. I can go there pour out what's in my mind, have a little bit of interaction with the few people who visit & ok. Hope next week you're not so tired Lexi xx
